The Issuer has made an application to the Listing Executive Committee (the “LEC”) of The Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd (“SEM”) in order to seek approval for the listing of the First Notes, by way of private placement, on the Official Market of the SEM. To that respect, the Programme Memorandum and the First Applicable Pricing Supplement have, for the purposes of the listing of the First Notes only, been amended to include particulars in compliance with the Listing Rules published by the SEM governing the listing of securities on the Official Market (the “SEM Rules”) and were submitted to the LEC. This updated Programme Memorandum (the “New Programme Memorandum”) and the updated First Applicable Pricing Supplement (the “New PS”) should be read in their entirety and, taken together, are deemed to be the listing particulars for the SEM purposes (the “Listing Particulars”). The approval of the LEC in relation to the listing of the First Notes has been obtained on 17 June 2021 and the listing and trading of the First Notes will be effective as from 30 June 2021. The First Notes have been rated as described in the New PS. The Notes are specialist debt securities and will be issued to qualified investors, that is, investors who are knowledgeable and understand the risks of investing in such specialist debt instruments. Prospective investors in the First Notes should ensure that they understand the nature of the First Notes and the extent of their exposure to the risks therein. They should also consider the suitability of the First Notes as an investment in light of their own circumstances and financial condition. 1 Issuer MCB Group Limited Arranger MCB Capital Markets LEC Reference Number: LEC/P/05/2021 New Programme Memorandum dated on 17 June 2021 and effective as from 30 June 2021 2 IMPORTANT NOTICES SELLING RESTRICTION The circulation and distribution of these Listing Particulars are required to inform themselves of, and to observe, any such restrictions.
